How the hunt works

Touch the bubbling spot to start a battle, flee, then wait for a new spot to form nearby. Better used as the entry point for an SOS chain than hunted raw.

The base rate in Pokémon Ultra Moon is 1 in 4,096. The Shiny Charm is available in this game and adds two extra shiny rolls.
